About Julia A.

I tutor high school and college students, and help them get ahead of the program and stand out from their peers in subjects such as chemistry (first year and organic), mathematics (algebra, calculus, vector calculus, and differential equations), physics (classical Newtonian, modern, and electromagnetism), and English essay writing skills.

About Julia

Hi! My name is Julia A. I have been tutoring students of all ages and skill levels at learning centers, colleges, libraries and schools since 2008.

My instruction extends nationwide, with students from all corners of the US, utilizing online tutoring services such as Skype.

My main field of study is in MATH (trig, algebra, geometry, precalculus), CHEMISTRY (high school and college), and PHYSICS (high school and college).

I completed my Bachelors in Physics and Mathematics Education at Hunter University and have gained experience with both in-person and online group instruction and curriculum development.

Some examples of the students I have tutored are: Elementary school students preparing for State competitions and exams; High school and College students in preparance for entrance exams, and in subjects such as algebra, geom

etry, trig, precalc, chemistry and physics.

I do Regents and SAT/ACT prep for these subjects as well as the GRE (These are NYS based High School Preparatory Exams - do not hesitate to ask should you need assistance with the ones offered in your state/country).

In addition, I am thorough and meticulous, by paying special attention to how the student grasps information and retains it, I prepare individualized handwritten reviews, with supplemental material found online and in texts.

I assign homework to keep my students ahead of what is going on in class, and a visual and intuitive understanding of the concepts I present is important to me, so I use visual aids (diagrams and interactive models) to help my students integrate what they learn with me in real life situations.

My instruction includes:1. Tutoring based on the school curriculum2. Instruction on the home-schooling curriculum3. Assisting those with a gap in going back to school/university.

I start with an assessment based on what the student has trouble with or last remembers covering in school, and prepare material going from there.

As a result, my students all have improved grades without any need for cramming before tests, and I encourage a stress-free and easygoing learning environment.

My lessons are fun and enthusiastic - these subjects are beautiful and will help open your mind to new ways of thinking - whatever your field of study!

Julia was very organized and well informed about chemistry. She was so much help. I would definitely use her again.

Oleg September 19, 2017·Math·Online

Great help to our 9y.o., who is exploring math. Clear explanation, additional materials, and a nice memo after each lesson. Thank you! Will do again!

Kate July 27, 2017·Algebra·Online

Julia creates her own curriculum which is better than anything my daughters receive in their schools.
I see marked improvements in their grades for this past year, and my eldest is actually skipping fourth grade as a result of lessons. I am astounded as to my girls' progress, and greatly appreciative of our tutor's expertise.
Her patient, methodical approach to teaching is why I see us remaining with her for all of our educational instruction. She has already taught arithmetic to my youngest (3rd grade), and algebra to my eldest (starting 5th this sept!), and is proceeding with more advanced math with no issue whatsoever. I cannot recommend her enough.

About Natalie L.

I love Chemistry, and I can teach through high school (or college introductory) level.

About Natalie

After graduating high school at the top of my class, I got full funding for an economics degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where I was born. I was very busy in college--my extracurriculars included 2 semesters abroad (Spain, Singapore), writing an honors thesis, being a consultant to the academic advising office, and being president of an honor society; besides this I worked my butt off in classes and graduated with a 3.7.

Besides academics, I am super interested in fitness, general wellness and psychology.

I would love to talk it out with you wherever our learning interests intersect!

About Craig W.

Currently teaching and tutored many students in Chemistry from High School to College level. I have brought many failing or just passing students to B+'s and A's. I myself took advanced Chemistry at UPenn, and also took AP Chemistry. In addition to reinforcing the fundamentals, and dissecting advanced material so it is more easily understood, my plan to initially is to examine my student's thought process, and then deconstruct their approach so it becomes more systematic and methodical.

About Craig

Welcome students and parents: You may not know it yet, but stumbling upon my page may change your life for the better. With me, your immersion into the world of science and education may open up opportunities that may alter your children's future path.

I have tutored students at the junior/high school, and college levels. As a teaching assistance for undergraduates at the Ivy league, the Univ of Pennsylvania, I teach pupils to dissect problems and challenges into manageable components. This was my stepping stone into a professorial role. I am originally from NYC, and attended Stuyvesant, so I also help tutor students with the SSAT and SHSAT. Knowledge and understanding alone does not make a good educator, it is the ability to transmit such skills which is remarkable.

I have a Master's of Science of Biochemical Engineering from the

University of Pennsylvania, and a Bachelor's of Science in biomedical sciences from King's College, University of London.

About kahtan A.

I will teach you to ace the New York State Regents chemistry exam. I have students score in the 90s and students score in the 70s. The only difference between the two sets, is the parents. No none-sense parents push their kids to study, and work hard thus resulting in high performance. Kids of easy going parents score in the 70s.

About kahtan

As a high school student and later on as an undergraduate student, I faced difficulties with some of my math courses and higher level chemistry courses. The main obstacle to my success in these courses was having teachers who did a poor job of explaining challenging topics. Frustrated and disappointed in my shortcomings, I retook Algebra I in high school and Organic Chemistry I, in college. Repeating these courses with new instructors allowed me a fresh opportunity to learn and master many of the challenging topics I had faced. Due to my hard work and commitment to excellence, I earned 100 in Algebra I, and A+ in Organic Chemistry I.

Among other life lessons, facing these two challenges showed me the power of good instructors, and more importantly, how to approach difficult topics. The best technique to understanding new concept

s is to start with an easy related topic. For example if I ask you what is the atomic radius of periods in the periodic table? To understand the answer, you would need to know the electron affinities of metals and nonmetals. Knowing how metals and nonmetals behave, will allow you to understand electron affinities. In addition, understanding the octet rule and the desired electron state of each atom is essential to answering the question. Lastly, answering the question without understanding why nonmetals radius is smaller than metals is meaningless.

My goal for each tutoring session is to get my student to change the way they approach answering science based questions. While the alternative approach of memorization might be helpful in humanities, it would be fruitless in science or math courses. Once you understand the “why” behind the answer, the next task is to practice working on a variety of questions. To efficiently maximize our time together, I come prepared with worksheets on any challenging topic. At the end of each session, I ask my students what topics they would like me to cover the next session. If applicable, I incorporate relevant regent’s questions.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you.

AMELA November 16, 2017·Chemistry·In studio

My daughter has 2 lessons so far. Kahtan is on time and sent me progress reports. I can say he has helped my daughter since she had a test and her grade improved. I hoping to see more improvement as he continued to tutor her.

Kahtan helped my son earn 94 on NYS chemistry regents exam. Prior to working with kahtan, my son was getting 80s on his class exams. Kahtan was always on time and never missed an appointment. I was so pleased with kahtan that I recently reached out to kahtan to inquire about SAT tutoring for my son. Unfortunately, kahtan wanted to focus on tutoring chemistry and did not think he was the right candidate for the job.

About Dawn K.

Most of my students would say that I make chemistry relatable to their everyday life. Furthermore I'll bring manipulatives and perform mini labs with students where possible. Also, I stress chemistry is about knowing the concept, not memorization of pure fact, compared to biology.

About Dawn

I'm a certified teacher with 8 years of teaching experience in high school chemistry at all levels and non-AP physics. I also have experience teaching organic and general chemistry in college. Additionally, I have had much experience and success tutoring middle school and high school math. I believe the job of a tutor is to teach skills for the future, not just content so that students may succeed in all classes.

About Mahbub R.

I help students understand key concepts of General Chemistry and relevant coursework.

I have taken both General Chemistry I and II. I am very passionate about teaching chemistry and can explain many concepts thoroughly. I have experience in pointing out the mistakes of students and provide them with suggestions on how they can improve their skills for 4 years.

As a student aide, I enjoy helping other students. I find that teaching others enhances your own understanding of the subject and aids others in finding their mistake. This creates a mutual relationship between two people that is beneficial. Each time that I help my students solve a problem, I always look for more effective ways of my approach. As a tutor, I plan to bring out the full potential of my students. I want my students to learn a lot and share their learning experience with others.

About Mahbub

Hello, my name is Mahbu and I'm an undergraduate of the City College of New York. I have been teaching college students for approximately 4 years now in my school. I am well known by numerous math and science professors in my school for being an outstanding student assistant. As an current alumni, I experienced the struggles that student go through inside the classroom and able to communicate with all my students at a personal level. I try to help as much students as possible and always follow up with their progress. I pay close attention to students who are not performing well so I can help them catch up with the rest of the class. This is extremely important because many student do not feel comfortable speaking asking for help when they need it. Moreover, during my senior year, I have been awarded the best student aide of the semester b

y my department. All my students achieved either a B or above in all of their math and science courses. As of now, I am conducting research for NOAA (National Ocean Atmospheric Administration), which involves studying climate change and figuring out many ways to help improve the environment. Furthermore, I am a board member of many clubs such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and Aeronautics, where I teach students how to utilize their engineering skills learned in the classroom to real life.

I am a student aide for the mechanical engineering department of my school. I tutor many math courses (including calculus), general physics and a variety of mechanical engineering courses. In addition, I am also a recitation leader for General Chemistry I and II. I help students understand key concepts of General Chemistry and relevant coursework. My duty is to encouraged students to participate, administer weekly quizzes and kept track of attendance. I am an expert is both private and lecture tutoring. If you want me to do group tutoring, please feel free to contact me for my specific policies. Additionally, I also do extended sessions if you need more assistance and the rates for that are posted in my profile. Any cancellation notice should me notified 4 hours prior to the beginning of the session. Lastly, I have the ability to pointing out the mistakes of students and provide them with suggestions on how they can improve their skills.

As a student aide, I encourage students to help out other students. I find that teaching others enhances your own understanding of the subject and aids others in finding their mistake. This creates a mutual relationship between two people that is beneficial. Each time that I help my students solve a problem, I always look for more effective ways of my approach. As a tutor, I plan to bring out the full potential of my students. I want my students to learn a lot and share their learning experience with others.
